I duno, I'm just not understanding this.
USENET from my experience (not official).
I first came across Usenet in 1992 and it was and still is a great place for asking questions (in fact it was the forerunner of forums).
To see a part of Usenet just go to Google homepage type in "usenet" click on the tab called GROUPS and search. You can type anything here and you'll be amazed at the threads you'll see. Usenet is the Groups tab on Google.
However Google carries no files.
In 1992 I first found out how powerful Usenet was when a mate needed help buying fountain pen parts and I found a newsgroup called alt.collecting.pencils-pens (or similar).
For many years I used Usenet to ask all my questions until I found OCUK (but I still use Usenet now and then).
Forward a few years and users realised they could put files on there and the rest is history. (you could find porn pics here at that time but they were in UUE format and you had to decode them. To see a single pic could take upwards of 5 minutes

)
There are 1000's of servers all around the world that collect all the same data so if you upload something to Newshosting servers it will transfer all around the world to other servers.
Easynews is easily the best way to get into Usenet because of the front end in your browser.
I use both Easynews and more recently Newshosting but Newshosting needs experience with a newsreader.
